On the Early Breakfast Show Relebogile Mabotja spoke to travel Writer, Iga Motylska about Dar es Salaam.
Iga explains that Dar is short-changed when it’s merely considered a springboard to the Serengeti safari route, Selous, Kilimanjaro and Zanzibar. Dar es Salaam was established in the 1860s as a peaceful fishing village. Today the seaside port and economic heart of Tanzania with more than four million inhabitants. It is a frivolous mix of nationalities and cultures, honking grid-iron traffic, beachfront restaurants and nearby islands. It’s a city that works hard and plays even harder, even though polepole is the country’s modus operandi. You'll come across machingas – mobile vendors, who walk its streets selling everything from cigarettes to electronics, hard-boiled sweets, peanuts and cooked corn.
